UP Expands Digital Libraries to 57,600 Gram Panchayats to Support Rural Education
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced the expansion of digital libraries to 57,600 Gram Panchayats, aiming to improve rural access to educational resources. These libraries, equipped with computers, high-speed internet, smart TVs, and books from the National Book Trust, seek to bridge the urban-rural education gap, especially for competitive exam preparation. The initiative reduces the need for rural students to travel to cities, saving time and money while enhancing learning opportunities locally.
